i really think that's what president obama did as well after the crisis he, you know, took on five years ago. but i think it is through these dodd-frank reforms that many of which are now being implemented. so i just wanted to mention a couple of my, around the table if i can. i have six real quick ones. first i think the heart of reform is insuring that largest financial institutions have freedom to fail. my dad's small business in baltimore, if he didn't make payroll on friday no one was coming to bail him out. i think that is at the core what dodd-frank is. i was pleased last month, the moody's, largest rating agency moved up lift of largest bank holdings that had come to be because of perceived government backing. that works because of title two of dodd-frank and all the work fdic did and fed did and ben and his people and bank regulators supporting everything that marti gruenberg and before that sheila did. second thing was making sure there is enough capital in hand. i know, where's dan? he is sitting somewhere. i've been in all these international meetings where dan has just been
